Uploading a certificate

You can upload a certificate only for regular certificates that are in a csr_pending certificate status. You must upload a certificate to send a certificate signing request (CSR) for the regular certificate that you add in the switch. You cannot upload a certificate for the device-identity regular certificate and if the certificate status is installed.

The signed certificate that you upload must contain PEM data in the following chain format:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

For example:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
